Suggest Treatment After Suffering A Stroke On The Thalamus Of The Brain

I HAVE XXXXXXX THROUH REHAB SHOULD I BE ON ANY SPECIALMEDICATION
No special medication.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
In terms of any special medication for that particular stroke location the answer is no, there is no special medication for that location compared to other locations.
Usually in stroke medication is aimed not at the damage which already happened but at preventing other strokes in the future. For that blood thinners such as Plavix as well as treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, quitting smoking etc are the most common steps. When the source of the stroke is from the heart other blood thinners may be needed.
As for the damage which has already happened there is no special medication apart from rehab and trying to alleviate symptoms like pain, spasticity, depression etc when they are present. Whether any medication to alleviate such symptoms is necessary in your case depends on whether you have any such symptoms or not.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
